Quality Fish on Fly

It was one of those days where the fishing wasn't red hot but some quality fish were taken on fly. Here Stu Cottrell and Tony Stent, fly fishermen from Tassie, persisted over some shallow reef to tempt an assortment of tropical species. Tony released this barracuda, fortunately hooked in the corner of the mouth, away from those savage teeth while his fishing partener Stu, landed (for the table) this fine fingermark of 64cm. It should be mentioned that Stu also landed a smaller fish (55cm) and lost a monster fingermark estimated at over 70cm. Well dome guys! For the day 13 species were taken on fly while shots were had at another 5 or 6 species.
